Thread: The lamentable state of bandsaw choice/availability in Australia

Thanks for your comments.
Five more contenders below (can't edit the OP), and an update: I've just placed an order for a floor-stock Carbatec BS0480C (19", 2HP, 10A, max height 360mm, max blade 25mm).
I understand this model is being discontinued, but it ticks an awful lot of the boxes and I was offered a good price.
